The Ducks still haven’t won on their four-game road trip. And the defending Stanley Cup champions are up next.

Playing their second game in as many nights after losing in a shootout Friday in Columbus, the Ducks’ energy lagged early. But they still managed to keep the game close –2-1 entering the third period– on Corey Perry’s team-leading 13th goal of the season. Ryan Getzlaf picked up the assist on by corralling a turnover from behind the Detroit net, and the linemates extended their franchise-record points streak to 11 games each. Getzlaf’s assist extended his assist streak to 10 straight games, also an Anaheim record.

A frantic third period erased all memories of the game’s first 40 minutes, as the suddenly energized opponents traded a total of eight goals.

Bobby Ryan got the equalizer with the Ducks holding a man advantage at 3:47, but Pavel Datsyuk answered with a power-play goal of his own at 5:17. Joffrey Lupul tied the game at 3 at 6:26, but Henrik Zetterberg answered at 9:10. Ryan Getzlaf one-timed a shot past Jimmy Howard with the Ducks skating 5-on-3 at 14:27, but Zetterberg fluttered a puck past Jonas Hiller at 15:29 to give the Red Wings a 5-4 lead.

Darren Helm’s breakaway shot was the last to get by Hiller, who finished the game with 30 saves on 36 shots. Zetterberg completed the hat trick by scoring into an empty net with less than a second left on the clock.

The Ducks will travel to face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night.
